Comeback of Sandhill Cranes Shines in Central Wisconsin Corn Field
A mid October visit to the Sandhill Wildlife Management Area near Babcock and a corn field south of Pittsville reveals a congregation of eighty or more sandhill cranes. The scene includes geese foraging in the same field as officials note a strong Wisconsin comeback since near extirpation. The piece highlights habitat protection, public involvement, and data from 2,292 observers across 68 counties counting 5,973 cranes, and mentions a Canada goose season closure in southwestern Wisconsin due to harvests exceeding objectives.
